DE Howard

[sportsman]

I am so glad JJ did not spend the money for him.

It is nice to be in a position too still sign FA as needed. Ex.
P. Price

 

[Nors]

Bingo - It was never a reality. Dude was asking for crazy money. We were going 3-4 - Went after Fergi fast in FA.

Drafted 3-4 studs in Ware, Spears, Canty, Burnett.

There was no Howard deal - just BS.

 

[The30YardSlant]

Man, Nors jumped on this thread faster than flies on horse crap

 

[dargonking999]

How did i know Nors was gonna get to this thread? But yea i think he might have been a possiblty if he asked for reasonable money, and the saints asked for a reasonable price, either 1 or both fell through obvisouly

 

[Nors]

Man I'm predictable, consistent and determined. Gotta give me that!

 

[Nors]

And the Howard non trade was the best thing that never happened for us

 

[dbair1967]

What happened to GROZ? What happened to your Howard and 4-3 prediction? = schooled. Law trade for Rogers ????- that non trade sucked - NEXT.

Ellis not a 3-4 FIT - lets revisit that in a year. Canty, Spears, Rat, Coleman are the future there......

What happened to GROZ?

It's still very much alive and well (he types with one hand while the other is waving in the air like crazy!!!)

 

[junk]

At least Nors is consistent. Even if he is wrong, he is right because the team SHOULD have done what he thought. :laugh2:

I still say for the right price, Howard would have been a nice add.

Ferguson was getting signed whether the team played 3-4 or 4-3.

Relatively cheap signing bonus, swap Dat. Draft Ware at #11.

Trade down from 20 and pick up Burnett and Ruud/Thurman in 2.

Ellis(Ware)/Glover/Ferguson/Howard

Burnett/Thurman(Ruud)/James

We couldn't have complained about that. Who knows though. What if Ware/Merriman were both off the board at #11? Taking Spears at 11 isn't such a good deal and the team has a hard time going 3-4.

Dallas was pretty fortunate with what happened. I am pretty happy with it.

- 17 Million Dollar Signing Bonus he wanted: No thanks!

Who said that? His agent? Thats called negotiating.

I couldn't tell you , but I did read that and that was the "buzz". A 17 million dollar bonus is called scaring the hell out of a team not negotiating !
Yes, he's a good player, I just don't want to get burned in a CAP crunch again.

GROZ stood for "Get Rid Of Zimmer."

It had nothing to do with keeping the 4-3.

Pathetic.

Ellis's sacks are coming when we move to the four man front.

When he was playing in the 3 man front, he was being eaten alive by the guard and tackle. And Ware continues to be blamed for the left side runs - watch the tape again, and see if you can find Ellis on those runs to the left.

I love Ellis, but he's just a nickel man in this defense.
